Opened 2 hrs, decanted and left for 30 mins. Drunk over 4 hours. Mid-dark colour with some fading at rim, no bricking. Nose of cab sauv fruits followed by a strong mocha aroma and tendrils of smoke. Developing pencil box traces over the course of the evening, mocha stays and joined by some eucalyptus. Fruit holds up and has a great balance of acidity, which provides the spine and tannins, which started too dry but became more integrated. The nose really developed and opened out even as the last drop was drained. All told, a super wine and a joy to spend an evening with.
